“I don’t agree!”

Gu Jian stood up from his chair in exasperation.

He got up so hard that he hit the chair behind him with a thump.

Gu Jian still wanted to say something, but he heard the patriarch say coldly, “Gu Jian, if you’re dissatisfied with us old bones, then just expel yourself from the sect.”

Madam Gu pursed her lips fiercely and almost crushed the prayer beads in her hand. She glared at the patriarch resentfully.

They would either split up the family or expel them.

The patriarch was too heartless!

The words in the main hall had also spread outside. Madam w.a.n.g was standing under the eaves and eavesdropping. It was as if shocking thunder had sounded in her ears.

70%!

Madam w.a.n.g felt as if a large piece of flesh had been gouged out of her heart. Her heart ached.

She had been in charge for so many years and knew very well how big the Gu family’s business was.

Emperor Taizu was a forthright person who was very generous to the officials who had followed him in the early days of his reign. In the third year of the Tianli reign, when he distributed rewards according to merit, Emperor Taizu bestowed upon the first generation of the Marquis of Dingyuan, Gu Yao, a total of 20,000 hectares of n.o.ble farmland, 800 tenant households, as well as other gold, silver, and wealth. At that time, Gu Yao also invested heavily in various industries.

Later on, the Old Marquis, Gu Xuan, inherited his father’s business. He was good at business. Over the decades, he added a lot of farmland, shops, residences, and so on to the Marquis Mansion. This allowed the industry to thrive.

Even in the past eight years, although the Dingyuan Marquis Household’s status in the court was mediocre and gradually marginalized, the Marquis Household’s family business wasn’t poor among the n.o.bles. Even if it wasn’t one of the best, it was still one of the best.

If 70% was given to the eldest branch for nothing, Madam w.a.n.g couldn’t help but hold her heart with one hand. Her heart was bleeding, and her vision darkened.

Seeing that Madam w.a.n.g couldn’t breathe, her maidservant quickly stroked her back and comforted her softly.

However, Madam w.a.n.g couldn’t listen. Her breathing quickened, and her face turned even paler.

At this moment, a low shout came from the back. “Third Miss!”

When Madam w.a.n.g heard this, her eyes lit up. She turned around anxiously and looked over. Not far behind her, Gu Yunrong, who was wearing a concubine-colored embroidered lotus flower, walked over elegantly. He smiled faintly, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

“Mother.” Gu Yunrong bowed to Madam w.a.n.g appropriately, neither warm nor cold.

Gu Yunrong and Madam w.a.n.g had been quite unhappy about the wedding date previously. At this moment, her beautiful and flawless face was filled with undisguised alienation. However, her words and actions were still very thoughtful, and no one could find fault with her.

“Rong’er.”

Seeing that Gu Yunrong had arrived, Madam w.a.n.g seemed to have a backbone. She quickly walked towards her and excitedly held her right hand. The first thing she said was, “Do you know that the family is about to split up?”

At this moment, Madam w.a.n.g’s heart was filled with thoughts of splitting up the family. She was so distraught that she forgot about the conflict between the two of them.

“Is that so?” Gu Yunrong’s eyes flickered as she glanced at the bustling and noisy main hall ahead.

She knew that the Marquis Mansion was splitting up the family. Gu Jian had mobilized a large number of people to invite the patriarchs and elders to the residence. Such a huge commotion couldn’t be hidden from so many eyes in the residence.

Not only did she know, but the third, fourth, and fifth branches also knew.

When Gu Yunrong first heard this news, he was also a little surprised. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it might be better for her and Gu Yanfei to split up.

In the Marquis Mansion, she and Gu Yanfei met frequently.

After splitting up, they would no longer live under the same roof. Gu Yanfei wouldn’t always treat her as a control group and compare everything to her. She even treated the marriage as a child’s play just to suppress her.

Just as well.

In the future, the two of them wouldn’t see each other every day. As time pa.s.sed, Gu Yanfei should be able to walk out of the past and not want to compare herself to her from time to time.

Gu Yunrong gently stroked the restriction on her dress and said calmly, “It’s good to split up the family.”

There weren’t many people in the eldest branch. After splitting up, the pair of siblings could do some business and also live a rich life.

More importantly…

Gu Yunrong looked up at Gu Yanfei, who was drinking tea in the hall. There was a cold glint in her eyes.

Since Gu Yanfei couldn’t bear to see her doing well, when she marries Kang w.a.n.g in the future, she also didn’t want Gu Yanfei to be blessed.

Gu Yunrong was calm, but Madam w.a.n.g almost jumped up. She hurriedly said, “You don’t know, but the eldest branch is demanding an exorbitant price. They want to take 70% of the family business.”

That was a full 70%!

Madam w.a.n.g’s eyes were bloodshot, and her pale face was turning blue as she panted heavily..
